Criminal Instinct "Terrible Things" 12"

Atlanta band Criminal Instinct make fast, raw, almost comically aggressive hardcore punk. Their music goes all the way over the top in its sheer mouth-frothing pummel. Gang-chant choruses. Juddering riffs. A singer who sounds like he's delivering beatdown threats in an unfamiliar Eastern European language even though he's clearly singing in English. Quiet parts that suddenly erupt into visceral jackhammer attacks. It's all here.
